Windrush generation
This term, children in Year 5 were learning about the Windrush generation. They looked at where the Caribbean was and why people from the Caribbean had decided to leave their country to come to Britain, their mother country, in 1948.
Children of Year 5 got an opportunity to then hear the story first hand from Tony Downie, who was a 'barrel baby' (children who were brought over later by migrant parents from the Caribbean to the UK after they settled in) and served in the British military. He shared his experiences of coming over to Britain and how he came close to being deported at the height of the Windrush scandal. It was very inspiring to hear his story and it helped the children better understand the experiences of the WIndrush generation.
